Latest team news for Union SG vs Inter Milan
Lautaro Martinez – Inter's captain – is in brilliant form. He isprovisional top scorer of the 2025 Champions LeagueWith 10 goals in just 9 matches, he's matched the achievements of Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé.
Marcus Thuram is still not fully recovered from his hamstring injury, so coach Chivu may continue to rely on Ange-Yoan Bonny – who is in good form – or give a chance to young Italian striker Francesco Pio Esposito, who just scored his first goal in Serie A and for the national team.
Apart from Thuram, Inter are only missing defender Matteo Darmian (calf injury). With a packed schedule ahead of the match against Napoli, coach Chivu may rotate the squad. Players like Petar Sucic, Davide Frattesi, Piotr Zielinski, and Carlos Augusto are likely to start.
Union Saint-Gilloise will be without Mohammed Fuseini due to an ankle injury. However, Raul Florucz returns after serving a one-match suspension in the European Cup and will start, supporting Canadian striker Promise David – who scored 19 goals to help the team win the league title last season.
Union's defense still relies on the experience of Christian Burgess and Kevin Mac Allister in a three-centre-back formation, while Mathias Rasmussen continues to be the "brain" orchestrating the play in midfield.

Latest football match prediction: Union SG vs Inter Milan
Continuing their impressive form from last season's group stage, Inter Milan are having a perfect start to the 2025/26 Champions League with two consecutive wins without conceding a single goal. They opened with a 2-0 victory over Ajax in Amsterdam, followed by a 3-0 win against Slavia Prague at home in San Siro.
Star player Lautaro Martinez scored a brace against Slavia, following Marcus Thuram's two goals against Ajax. Inter's defense remained absolutely solid, demonstrating one of the most robust defensive foundations in Europe today.
Remarkably, the blue-and-black team has kept a clean sheet in 10 of their last 11 group stage or league matches in the Champions League. In their last 16 games, they have won 11 and lost only once.
After their bitter defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025 Champions League final, Inter are gradually experiencing a strong resurgence under young coach Cristian Chivu. Their recent run of form shows they are regaining their former glory.
Inter's 1-0 victory over league leaders Roma last weekend gave them 15 points in Serie A, level with Roma and defending champions Napoli.
In that match, Ange-Yoan Bonny – who was given the opportunity to replace Marcus Thuram – scored the only goal, bringing his total goal contributions to five in just the last two games.
Inter's most recent defeat was a dramatic 3-4 loss in the "Derby d'Italia" against Juventus in September. Since then, they have maintained consistent form and are full of confidence ahead of their first European encounter with Union Saint-Gilloise.
Union SG are currently the Belgian champions, ending a 90-year domestic title drought with a historic double last season.
The Brussels-based team entered their first home game of this year's Champions League with a run of five consecutive wins in all competitions, including a 3-1 victory away at PSV in the opening match. However, that streak was brutally ended when they were thrashed 0-4 by Newcastle United – a defeat that dealt a severe blow to the team's morale.
Union had to play at Anderlecht's stadium because their home ground, Stade Joseph Marien, did not meet UEFA standards. And now, they face an even bigger challenge – Inter Milan, a true giant of Serie A.
Coach David Hubert, who took over after Sebastien Pocognoli left to manage Monaco, shared that his realistic goal is to help the team finish in the top 24 to qualify for the knockout round. With that goal in mind, even securing one point against Inter would be considered a success.
In the domestic league, Union SG continues to maintain impressive form. Their 3-1 victory against Charleroi last weekend helped them maintain their lead in the Belgian Pro League, three points ahead of Club Brugge after 10 rounds.
